Nine Eagles Bravo SX

[scallybert]

A mate asked me about one of these Nine Eagles Bravo SX --- BuzzFlyer UK as a 1st heli.

Anyone got any experience of them ? How do they compare to (eg) a Blade mCX ?

I think the Blade mSR is a closer comparisom as the MSX is a co-ax. I'd get the mSR personally - not much more expensive and fairly decent quality.

Yeah , the mSR RTF Fast Lad Performance is £97.49 .


[However, that's minus a case.]

Mind you, the Blade mCX - wich is probably more beginner-friendly Fast Lad Performance is even cheaper, at £68. Though that similarly doesn't have a case, and IIRC doesn't have the mains charger.

I was considering passing on an old Blade CX2 I have no use for. However, I've no packs for these anymore, and they're quite big compared to the little ones.

I'm guessing the battery powered charger will be ok? The mCX will be easier to fly, although might get boring faster than an mSR.

And as far as case is concerned...dunno. Is it really needed? Not like you can fly it at the field...

It means you can sling it all in the case, and bung it under the bed, on top of the wardrobe, etc.

Yeh, I was looking at the Bravo SX for weeks until I settled on the Blade MSR. The issue with the Bravo SX was some people had reported on another forum that although they loved flying the little heli, the canopy/fuselage was a pain to remove which always ended up being cracked resulting in purchasing a new one. And that was even after changing the battery.
